Finding wolves in the vast snow field is not a simple matter, it requires rich experience and keen judgment, the three old cowboys in the ranch have exactly this experience, according to Sanders's reminder, Zeng Gong They first searched along the Qinglian River, the water source is always the most needed by all animals, the Qinglian River is a tributary of the Yellowstone River, and it is also the largest water source nearby, Sanders believes that they will gather nearby.
"Zeng, if you look at those traces, they should be left by wild wolves. Sanders, who was acting as an observer from the helicopter, suddenly pointed to the scattered snow marks left on the snow.
Zeng Gong followed the direction of Sanders's finger, leaving deep ditches on the thick snow, there were more than ten of them, if this was the trace left by the wild wolf, at least more than ten wild wolves passed here, but many things can not only look at the surface phenomenon, the eyes can also deceive.
"Damn, how can there be so many wild wolves. After Sanders took the telescope and saw it clearly, his face couldn't help but turn blue.
"What's wrong, Sanders?" Zeng Gong curiously took the telescope and carefully observed the traces left by the wolves, but found nothing suspicious.
"Once, I suspect it's a huge pack of wolves, if you look closely at the marks they left behind, are they a little wider than their bodies?" said Sanders, pointing to the marks left by those marks.
According to Sanders's instructions, Zeng Gong found that the traces left by the wolves below were indeed much wider than their bodies, what did this mean? Zeng Gong suddenly had a bad premonition that there might be a huge wolf pack cruising around, at least more than twenty. Only the "Druid Peak Wolf Pack" in Yellowstone has been recorded to have such a size.
"Sanders, are you suspicious of the 'Druids Wolves'? They've got territory in Wyoming, and I don't think they're going to leave their territory easily. Barring something that happens, they're pretty much the biggest wolf pack. Zeng Gong shook his head and drove the unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.
"Why not? Now that there is historically rare snow falling in Yellowstone, it's not surprising that they migrate out of Yellowstone due to a lack of food, and of course other wolves can't be ruled out, because the snow has improvised a team to fight all kinds of cruel accidents. Saunders' eyes were a little more solemn, and he kept staring at the movement in the snow.
Regardless of whether it is a "Druid Peak Wolf Pack" or not, it is a fact that a huge wolf pack has come near Qinglian Ranch. This is definitely a tricky thing to do, and if not handled properly, it will definitely cause great trouble to the ranch, and there will even be wolves crossing the fence to attack the cattle.
"Shall we continue to search?" Zeng Gong hesitated, if it was a small group of wolves, he wouldn't mind fighting with them, but a large group of wolves would have to think about the consequences.
"Do we have a choice? The wolves have run under our noses, and there is nothing to be done?" said Sanders solemnly.
Now was not the time to compromise with the wolves, and although only wolves had been spotted around the ranch, Sanders knew it was just a temptation for the wolves. If their owners do nothing, they will have to break into the pasture and attack the herd, which is their usual trick.
Zeng Gong did not speak. Just silently staring at the movement below, the Qinglian River slowly flowed out of the pasture, and gradually showed signs of freezing. A little ice floes follow the water towards the confluence of the Yellowstone River ahead, the last flat land that extends in the direction of the Yellowstone River. There are quite a few cherry trees and even many kiwi fruits. I don't know which explorer brought it here, and it mutated to survive here.
"Looks like this is their home base. The traces left by the wolves disappeared in the canyon, and the experienced Sanders immediately made a judgment.
The place where the Qinglian River and the Huangshi River meet is a canyon, and the place where the Qinglian River and the Huangshi River meet through the canyon is a shoal, and the end of the shoal is the place where the two rivers meet.
"Do we need to go over the mountain? The driver looked at the mountain in front of him and asked Sanders with a sideways face.
Saunders shook his head, he knew that the cunning wolves would not expose themselves to danger, and they were extremely sensitive to danger, and they would definitely enter the canyon first to dodge, the canyon was their natural barrier, "Forget it, let's go back first, see if Jason and they have any gains, and then discuss countermeasures." ”
"Jason, Davis, David, did you find anything?" Back at the ranch, Zeng Gong found that the others had already returned before them.
"No, we didn't find any signs of wild wolves, only David and they found traces of small groups of wolves, which were judged to be no more than ten wolves. Jason shook his head and gave a brief explanation of their findings.
"Huh?" Zeng Gong instinctively felt that something was wrong when he heard this, the scope of David's inspection was adjacent to the range he and Sanders searched, and it could be regarded as the territory of one wolf pack, but now there were two wolf packs, this was an incredible thing, but it happened.
"What's wrong, Zeng?" asked Jason, a little curiously, it should be normal, a small pack of wolves moving around the ranch should be acceptable.
"We found a large pack of wolves. Sanders glanced at Zeng Gong and said with some solemnity.
The three of them realized something at once, the matter was much more serious than they thought, they were almost certain that the ranch was being targeted by wolves, and it seemed that they were divided into two teams, and if they rashly attacked any of them, they would be retaliated against extremely badly, and there might be two wolf kings.
"Didn't you just find two wolf packs? What's all the fuss, you can do it with two wolf packs, can't you just kill them all?" Liao Hui next to him looked at the solemn expressions of several people one by one, suddenly for a while, and then said lightly.
"Boss, we can't kill all the wild wolves, even if we attack all the wolves, in case the wolf king is not among them, or if something unexpected happens. Zeng Gong shook his head and explained helplessly.
"That's right, Liao. David's face became extremely ugly, and he lowered his head and said with some chagrin, "Zeng, I have killed the head wolf of that pack. ”
"What?" said Sanders, then to David, "Tell all the cowboys to drive the cattle back early today, organize men to patrol with guns tonight, let all the sheepdogs go, and light a fire where the cattle rest, if necessary." ”
